I would like to see the toe-up socks bind-off… And heel turning options for toe-up socks. I always have to do the heel a couple times for the when/how to turn it!

I love the podcast, thanks for doing it!

I loved this episode and want to thank you for putting out all of these wonderful videos for us! I was re-visiting them today when I remembered that I haven’t left a comment yet! I would love to see either the toe-up bind off or the fair isle. I know I’ve seen a lot of cute fair isle kits lately, but I’m always afraid to try them. Maybe you can help me build the courage?

As usual, a great episode Cat! Personally, I’d love to see a demo of Fair Isle. Thanks for all you do!

I would love to learn the toe up bind off first (followed by Fair Isle) I love your video podcasts and your new haircut is great!

Just watched this episode today and wanted to put my vote in for fair isle! I might be too late though. Oh well.

I would love to learn more about fair isle knitting! I’m a beginner and your show always inspires me to my next projects! In fact I’m going out today to get some wire and beads to make jewelry!

Love the new haircut. I would like to see a bind-off for toe up socks. I always knit them this way because I can just keep knitting until I run out of yarn and that is how long they will be. My bind-offs are not always as stretchy as I would like. thanks

Hi Cat! Definitely would love to see some fair isle demos! Thanks!

Fair Isle and toe finishing are more technical and exciting sounding but I have dishcloth dilemma. I’ve been knitting dish cloths this past year and now I have all these partial skeins left. I’d like to learn some good, sturdy joins for cotton so I can use up these bits of yarn.

My vote is for the sock bind-off!

By: Monique

I vote for the binding off of toe up socks first. I would also love to see an episode on steeking. Or maybe slip stitch patterns, or a how to do good yarn substitutions. There’s a lot I’d love to see. Keep up the informative wonderful work.

I’d love to see binding off toe up socks - I love learning new variations on such a simple thing as a sock!

I just found your podcast yesterday and I love it already. I’m a brand new knitter and am appreciative of any free knitting instruction I can get my hands on. I’m itching to make a pair of socks, so I’d like to see Binding off toe up socks. But to be honest, I’m sure I’ll like all 3 episodes. Best wishes.

By: liz

liz — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:09:14 +0000

I would love to see all three! I just bought your book about socks so I would choose that if I have to but all of them would be nice. Thanks for the shows.

Hey Cat,

Love the new do! Very sophisticated.

I’d like to see a demo on Fair Isle… it’s been a while since I’ve watched any of your demos and I always found them informative and fun.

With regards to raising more money for the site… have you considered Raffles? You could sell “tickets” at $1 or $2 each and give nice yarn as a prize (which you may also be able to get donated by a supplier as it would be free advertising). The winner would end up having paid only a few dollars whilst you could raise much more.

Best Wishes, Rich

Nice episode. I wasn’t able to get to the studio during my last trip to NYC so this was a great way to see what I’m missing! As for the demo vote…definitely Fair Isle please.

By: Tina

I loved the videos on NY, I have a sister living in Brooklyn and am planning a road trip to Lion Brand because of your video, my vote is for the fair isle tutorial. Love the new look!

By: Jennifer

Jennifer — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 18:59:21 +0000

I am looking forward to watching tutorials for binding off toe-up socks and for fair ilse–but if I had to pick on to go FIRST, I’d vote for fair isle!
And I agree that your new haircut is quite flattering.

I’d like to see the bind off for toe up socks.

By: Sara

Sara — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 16:09:09 +0000

I really enjoyed your podcast! The lionbrand studio has made me want to take the 2hr train ride to NYC some day!

I’d really like to see more about toe up sock bind offs. I’ve tried 3 different ones and am not happy with how the ones I’ve done claim to be strechy but are really not.

Look forwards to seeing your next podcast!

Another great episode! Thanks for putting on a terrific show!

I would love to see an episode on knitted dishcloths (and facecloths). I never really fully appreciated these items until someone in my knitting circle decided to knit some as Christmas gifts. Her cloths were far and away so much better than anything you could buy in a store.

Again a lovely episode, the pictures from the Lion Brand studio were real fun to watch, I wish I could do my house like that
I would love to see fair isle knitting for the next episode as it’s one of the more difficult techniques in knitting.

That’s a dreamy looking shop they have there…

I vote for the fair isle first… also very interested in the binding off of socks but I can wait for that one!!

I love your podcasts….I have also recently fallen in love with fair isles. It is definately on my list of skills to work on. Yarn colors are so beautiful and they are just screaming from my stash to be put together. I am looking to you for that help….PLEASE. Thanks so much

By: Julie

Julie — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:47:14 +0000

I vote for Fair Isle Knitting first. Maybe this would give me the little bit of motivation I need to get me started on a pair of fair isle sock / slippers I have been meaning to knit!
Love the initiative of offering a contest this month… Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Cat and Eric!

Angela — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:39:37 +0000

I’d love to see 1st choice) knitted dishcloths, or 2nd choice: binding off Toe up Socks — I’m more or less a beginner, and I can tell I’m in the minority on choices here - =) Thanks!!!

Love the new do!
Actually I am torn between the toe-up bind-off and the fair isle demos. Either would be good! I have knitted toe-up and was disappointed with the lack of stretch in my bind off, and yet I would like to learn the Fair Isle technique too! The stress of the decision!

By: Lynette

Lynette — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:52:12 +0000

Fair Isle, please. And keep up the great work, I am new to the podcast, but am catching up quickly due to a couple of sick days home with a sore throat!

My vote is for binding off toe up socks…I just started to learn toe up and the first one I knit I could barely get over my calf…so the second one is on hold until I learn a new version of bind off.

By: Bonne

Bonne — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 23:24:03 +0000

My vote is for binding off toe up socks. Always looking for another way to finish them off!!

By: Deb

Deb — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 22:39:13 +0000

I vote for binding off Toe-up socks, I love the toe-up principle, but can’t seem to get a bind off as stretchy as I’d like.

By: Barb

Barb — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 21:35:50 +0000

one more vote for binding off toe-up socks. Too tight is the common problem, without a happy resolution…so far :o)

By: Kathleen Howe

As much as I’d love to see all the different techniques for Fair Isle knitting, I’d like to see bind offs for toe up socks more. There are so many different ones and I’d like to see differentiations for them all. Great podcast Kat!

By: Marion Berkhout

Marion Berkhout — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 18:49:12 +0000

I really would love to know more about fair isle knitting. I learn so much from your podcast. But it is great fun as it is too. Kindest regards, Marion Berkhout.

I would love to see more about fair isle knitting. I never quite understood how to strand the yarn without puckering. I have always been afraid to try actually. I also am interested in the toe up bind off for socks. I love socks and knitting them but i usually do a standard bind off with a larger needle. I’d love to see some other options.

Thanks!!

By: Verna Waybright

Hi, I need to learn new ways to bind off toe-up socks. I usually knit socks this way and the cuffs just aren’t great. Thanks!

Love the podcast. It was fun to see the Lion Brand Studio. Cast off for the toe up socks, I’m ususally a cuff down girl. Do dishcloths really need an episode? Also love all of the Rhinebeck episodes, when in the middle of dark & dreary winter I can get the feel of a fiber event.

By: Karen

Karen — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 12:32:10 +0000

Hi Cat & Eric,
Really enjoyed your podcast. It was fun to see the new Lion Brand studio-store. I’ve done stranded knitting before but would love to see your next demo on that subject—any tips for keeping even tension would be so appreciated!

By: Debbie

/bangs head against wall!
I missed your live show again! I was at the very first one and now I’ve missed each one after. Sorry about that. 6 Eastern is 3 pm to me and I’m usually out running around getting things done that I never have a chance to do on weekdays.
I hope it went well and everyone had a great time.
